Abstract: 122,424. Barnes, E., Chase, L. H., and Phillips, R. W. L. June 14, 1916. Order and ordertype apparatus.-Relates to apparatus for the electrical transmission of angular or rotary motion of the type in which similar transmitting and receiving devices are used, comprising stators with windings, similarly orientated points of which are connected, and rotors the windings of which are connected, alternating current being supplied to the coils of either the stators or the rotors so that induced currents are set up in the windings of the other members, causing the two rotors to take up similar angular positions with respect to the stators, in which condition no induced currents now between the two instruments. Thus movement given to one rotor is copied by the other. In the present case, barshaped and preferably laminated rotors H, H<1>, are provided. One end of each rotor coil J is shown as earthed to the casing of the instrument through the point J<2>, the two casings being connected. The other ends of the coils are connected through rings J‹ and brush contacts J<4>. Alternating current is supplied to the rotor windings through leads K, K<1>. The stators C, C<1>, of ring form, carry closed windings, three or more points of uneven number on one winding being connected to corresponding points of the other through leads E. The rotors tend to occupy corresponding angular positions as shown so that no induced currents flow through these leads. Fig. 1 shows one form of instrument. A laminated stator core ring C (windings not shown) is held in a casing L with strengthening webs and a cover-plate L<1> The rotor spindle M, provided with ball-bearings M<1>, projects from the casing and carries a light casing M<2> filled with transformer oil to act as an insulation medium and damping-device. Terminals are provided on the cover L<1> for making the necessary connexions. In a modification, each instrument has two rotors slightly displaced angularly with respect to one another and taking up positions on opposite sides of and equally inclined to the neutral position. Two corresponding stators may be provided or a single stator of sufficient depth. In a further modification, two or more sets of cores may be provided on each rotor. In other forms, the cores of the stators may be omitted, and one of the rotors may be without windings. If desired, the windings may be so arranged that one rotor follows the movement of the other in an irregular manner. The invention is particularly adapted for use in connexion with range-finders of the type described in Specification 122,200, [Class 97 (i), Optical systems &c.]

Title: A divisional feeder for lubricating systems
IPC: F16N25/02
Filed: 1952-04-03
Abstract: 720,038. Lubricating systems. TRABON ENGINEERING CORPORATION April 3, 1952 [April 12, 1951], No. 8546/52. Class 12 (3). A feeder for distributing lubricant sequentially through a series of outlet ports comprises a block having at least three cylinders therein, each cylinder having an inlet port and on each pipe thereof three ports namely a valve port, an outlet port, and a drive port, a piston in each cylinder with four spaced lands permitting fluid flow through the cylinder and along the piston, several passages being formed in the block as indicated below to enable the distribution to be effected. As shown, the feeder comprises a body 11, Fig. 1, provided with a conduit 12 for supply of lubricant thereto, and conduits 13, 14, 15, 16 for outlet to' various points to be lubricated. The body contains three cylinders, cylinder 20 associated with conduits 12, 13, 14 and cylinder 21 associated with conduits 15 and 16 being shown in section in Fig. 4, and cylinder 19 in section in Fig. 3. The cylinders are fitted with similar pistons, each comprising two sections united by a sleeve 70 and consisting of body portions 25, 26 and four enlarged portions 27, 28, 29, 30. Passages are bored in the body 11 both vertically and horizontally, some extending to the outer surface of the body but being sealed by plugs such as the plug 69. The passages provide communication between the stages into which the cylinders are divided by the pistons, and so enable the feeder to operate as indicated diagrammatically in Fig. 7. There is always a central valve stage in communication with the inlet for lubricant. Lubricant entering cylinder 21 through passage 100 flows through passage 101 to the left drive stage of cylinder 19 and forces the piston 22 to the right, to eject lubricant in the right drive stage through passages 102, 110 to the outlet 38. At the same time passages 100 and 103 become connected through the central valve stage of cylinder 19 whereby the lubricant forces the piston 23 of cylinder 20 to the right. Lubricant is then forced through passages 104, 108 to the outlet 34. Movement of the piston 23 connects passages 100 and 106 whereby lubricant is fed to the right stage of cylinder 21 causing the piston 24 to move to the left and force lubricant through passages 105 and 108 to .the outlet 34. In a similar manner the pistons of the three cylinders are moved successively in the reverse direction, resulting in discharge of lubricants once through outlet 37 and twice through outlet 33. The cylinder 21 has an area double that of cylinder 19 or 20 so that equal amounts of lubricant are ejected from each outlet.
